Strata or Body Corporate Dispute? Get Legal Help to Resolve It Fairly

Living or investing in a strata property brings shared responsibilities and collective decision-making. Strata and body corporate (also known as owners corporations) issues often arise over maintenance costs, repairs, renovations, or management decisions. These disputes can quickly become stressful without clear legal guidance.

A property lawyer can help you understand your rights under strata legislation, review by-laws, and negotiate with owners, committees, or managers. Whether you are a lot owner, tenant, or committee member, professional advice helps prevent escalation and protect your investment.

Law Tram connects you with lawyers who are experienced in strata and community title matters across all Australian states and territories.
